Bread Upon the Waters
1   Cast your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many days.
2   Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3   If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree falls toward  the  south,  or  toward  the north, in  the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.
4   He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the clouds shall not reap.
5   As you know not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all.
6   In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hand: for you know not which shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both alike shall be  good.
7   Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8   But if a man lives many years, and rejoices in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

Remember Your Creator Early in Life
9   Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes: but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10   Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
